Talk about blending fuel...

An India based company says by blending "petrol", ethanol, and diesel, you can have a fuel with the same btu ( or 99% ) as regular gasoline.

"In a major breakthrough in the bio-fuel production business, Pune-based Praj Industries has devised a method to produce ethanol from ligno-cellulosic feedstock like straw, grasses and wood chips."

"Praj Industries, involved in non-conventional energy sector, has also designed a new ethanol blend, which is high-energy fuel, to be blended with petrol and diesel."

"Praj has discovered a "high-energy-content ethanol", a new blend that matches the energy levels of petrol. If we consider, petrol delivers 100 per cent energy, the newly discovered blend of ethanol bridges this gap between ethanol and diesel to provide almost 99 per cent energy, said Inamdar. Praj has also patented this ethanol blend and the commercialisation of the same would be achieved with the help of oil companies."
